Onion Soup my way 自家洋蔥湯

It is not the fancy style onion soup that's typically served in a restaurant.  It is Mei's onion soup, that calls for only a few basic ingredients (well, at least in my pantry) and is substantial enough to be the main meal.  The essential flavour of this soup is from the wine, so please don't omit it, or it will totally taste like something else. 

Ingredients:

3 Big White Onions, sliced

4 cups Beef Stock

1 cup White Wine

90 gram Butter

2 teaspoons   Brown Sugar

Sea Salt to taste

2-4 pieces Bread Crusts

Shredded Cheese (Mozzarella and Cheddar)

材料：

3 個   白洋蔥，切幼條

4 杯   牛肉湯

1 杯   白酒

90 克   牛油

2 茶匙   黑糖

少許   海鹽

2-4 片   麵包邊

Apple Conch Soup 蘋果嚮螺湯

Apple conch soup is good for a sore throat or dry cough.  I made it to sooth my own need.  As you may hear in the video, my voice was a little hoarse and sometimes it sounded almost like out of breath.  The sweetness in the apples gives a nourishing effect for the throat while the soup provides the fluid the body needs.  After all, it is also a very tasty recipe.

Ingredients:

300 gram Pork

4 Apples

100 gram Sliced Conch

10 gram Chinese Almonds

材料：

300 克   豬肉

4 個   蘋果

100 克   嚮螺片

10 克   南北杏

Oatmeal Turkey Meatball Soup 營養麥火雞肉丸湯

Coconut Chicken Soup 椰子煲雞

Unlike many other kinds of chicken soup, this coconut chicken soup carries a light consistency and fruity flavour.  Which keeps your body warm and without a mouth of grease.  The bonus of this recipe is that, while the soup is simmering on the stove, the exotic coconut fragrance fills the whole kitchen and let you forget the bitter cold weather outside anymore.

400 gram Fresh Coconut (the brown and hair type)

7-10 Red Dates, pitted

15 gram  Dried Wolf Berries

5.5 cups Water

Papaya Tofu Fish Soup 木瓜豆腐魚湯

"A bowl of this sweet and nutritious soup is a treat for such a cold and dry winter." As my mom always said.  The exact amounts of the ingredients aren't essential here.  You can always add more or less of them to suit your taste, or even skip the tofu and add more papaya instead.  Keep in mind that you will want a rather green papaya so that the soup can find a better balance between the delicate sweetness in the seafood and the refreshing sweetness in the tropical fruit.

Ingredients:

1 Trout, scaled and gutted (any type of fish will almost works here)  

1 Papaya

2 Carrot

450 gram Firm Tofu

7 cups Water

2 tablespoon Vegetable Oil

Salt to taste

材料：

1 條   鱒魚，去鱗和腮腸 (可用其也魚代替)

1 個   木瓜

2 條   紅蘿蔔

450 克   硬豆腐

7 杯   水

2 湯匙   菜油

少許   鹽

Instruction:

Milky Chicken Stew 牛奶煮雞

It's a highly nutritious meal kids will love.  The chicken becomes extra smooth and fragrant after simmering in the bath of milk and cheese.  You can eat this as a stew, or serve it with a bowl of rice and pour a few spoonfuls of soup on top.  My little son easily gobbles down these pieces of smooth chicken.  The whole milk in this recipe is not recommended to substitute for any no fat or skimmed milk.  I really don't think they can do the same job as the whole milk.

Ingredients:

750 gram Chicken Thigh, boneless, skinned, and cut into bite size

2 cups Whole Milk

1.5 cups Shredded Cheese (prefer Cheddar and Mozzarella)

75 ml Rice Wine (white wine is also fine)

2 tablespoons White Miso (it's usually available in big Asian supermarkets)

20 Button Mushrooms

材料：

750 克   雞脾肉，去皮，切件

2 杯   全脂奶

1.5 杯  切碎芝士 (Cheddar and Mozzarella) 

75 毫升   米酒 (可改用白酒)

2 湯匙   白麵鼓 (一般在大型亞洲市場可找到)

20 磨菇

Brussels Sprouts and Sausage Soup 球芽根籃肉腸湯

This is an easy soup I enjoy making during winter time, when the sun goes down at 4pm, and I just want to cuddle my little boy on the couch instead of making dishes for dinner in the kitchen by myself.  Besides the efficiency, this rich flavour soup provides the extra water and fat we need in the winter days.  The key of this quick and delicious recipe is the quality of the sausages.  So find a reliable meat shop that sells fresh and MSG-free sausages.

Ingredients:

600 gram Sausage, cut into bite size

3 Red Potatoes, cubed

2 cups Brussels Sprouts, halved
